The South Carolina football team saw four former players selected in last week’s NFL Draft.  Those players were Javon Kinlaw, Bryan Edwards, DJ Wonnum, and TJ Brunson.  With that group moving on, it’s never too early to start thinking about teammates that could follow in their footsteps next season.

DraftScout.com has listed grades for potential 2021 football draftees, and a number of Gamecocks can be found in the rankings.  The grades are broken down by class and position, for example, senior-to-be Shi Smith is listed in the class of 2021, junior-to-be Jaycee Horn is in the class of 2022, and so on.

This piece will focus only on those players who will be eligible for next year’s NFL draft.  Find out where each Gamecock lands, starting with the offense.
